STURTEVANT S AND S-4
In 1915, Grover Loening left the employ of the Army at San Diego and joined the Sturtevant Aeroplane Co. of Boston, Mass., as chief engineer. He developed a series of trainers and observation types for both the Army and Navy. Seven Model S advanced trainers (inc. 110 and 111) were sold to the Army, and four S-4 “Battleplanes” (126, 127, 214 and 215) were disarmed and converted to conventional observation types for use on the Mexican border in 1916. Model S: 150 h.p. Sturtevant; span, 48 ft. 8 in.; length, 29 ft. 0 in.; gross weight, 3,100 lb.; high speed, 75 m.p.h.

The Sturtevant S2 2-seater of 1917 had a steel airframe like the B2 and used the same type of engine. It had a more conventional wing cellule of much greater wing area. The S2 had very poor flying qualities and was not used in quantity.
